Anti-Cheese Billboards.. Really?? (pic)

I'd be more understanding if it was your thighs/ abs on donuts or potato chips. But really? cheese?

"Your thighs on a calorific surplus"

Hate this ill informed nonesense

The PCRM can suck it sideways.

Uhh I eat cheese and I don't look like that...I have my fair share of "fluff" but I guarantee it isn't because of cheese...That's crazy...just like making the poor cookie monster give up his cookies...all because some kid ate 20 cookies instead of 2, now all kids are supposed to give up cookies...Now someone has told a DR. that they have a cheese problem, so now we are all supposed to give up cheese...yeah...

Ugh!

Let me guess - those people in the ads have been eating healthy, in moderation and at the very most, had a couple slices of cheese a day - and it's the EVIL CHEESE THAT DID THAT!

Yeah okay....

L.

Cheese didn't make me fat. (Maybe that's a bumper sticker!)

:laugh:

Thank you!

Vegan propaganda. Nothing more.

LOL!! Cheese didn't make me fat...it was...ready?? NOT PUTTING THE FORK DOWN!!! :laugh:

I guess if they had their way, we'd all be eating grass..I see campaigns against meat, against sugar, against wheat products and now cheese.....I wonder what is the REAL purpose behind those campaigns. Tobacco is still legal and in Canada, they're trying to legalize marijuana but...nah!!! let's have a campaign against cheese...the world is gone bonkers. What ever happened to the human mind that we are now too dumb to decide for ourselves . . . Just don't eat a whole pound at one sitting, everything in moderation please.

Before you attack the billboards, I would advise you to read the book Whitewashed: The Disturbing Truth about Cow's Milk and Your Health. Milk products are not all they are cracked up to be. Many people are not aware that 2% milk has approximately 34 calories of fat for every 100 calories (34% fat).

Milk is linked to obesity, heart disease, cataracts, cancer (ovarian, breast, and prostate), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis/joint pain, allergy/headaches/back pain, Crohn's disease, infertility, severe menstrual cramps, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (basically mad-cow disease in humans), and tuberculosis.

The cassein in cow's milk is what causes most of the problems when it comes to diseases caused by milk. Cassein is more concentrated in cheese.

When a calf drinks it's mother's milk, its weight doubles in 47 days. Cow's milk contains 15% calories as protein. Human's milk contains 5% calories as protein. Children who drink cow's milk are often overweight due to the doubling rate of cow's milk. Clearly, human's were not meant to drink cow's milk or eat products made from cow's milk. If we were, we would not suffer so many disease from cow's milk.

Now, with hormones being injected into cows to make them produce more milk, we are seeing children developing faster than they should be. Seven year old girls now have breast and boys are getting breast as well. All from tainted cow's milk. Since cheese is made from cow's milk, it is included as being a culprit to this early development process.

All I am saying is that one needs to read about how detrimental certain foods, such as cow's milk, are to humans before condemning any advertisement.

One thing for you to meditate upon: Human's are the only mammals that drink the milk of another mammal. That milk was specially formulated for that mammal's offspring, not for humans. So drinking that milk is not good for humans because it has an overabundance of nutrients in it that were meant to help the calf grow. No wonder Americans are overweight. They drink and eat more milk and milk products than any other people on this planet.

Yes, the fact that we are obese in the U.S. can also be blamed for over-eating other foods and our penchant for sitting around like lazy pigs, but lets look at the foods we eat and understand how they affect our bodies before it is too late. And let's not count on the FDA for protection from the agricultural industry and the foods that it produces. They've done a perfectly crappy job of protecting us so far.

I guess if they had their way, we'd all be eating grass..I see campaigns against meat, against sugar, against wheat products and now cheese.....I wonder what is the REAL purpose behind those campaigns. Tobacco is still legal and in Canada, they're trying to legalize marijuana but...nah!!! let's have a campaign against cheese...the world is gone bonkers. What ever happened to the human mind that we are now too dumb to decide for ourselves . . . Just don't eat a whole pound at one sitting, everything in moderation please.

People want something to blame for all their problems and these guys takes advantage.

I'd be more understanding if it was your thighs/ abs on donuts or potato chips. But really? cheese?

ditto...take it out on potato chips. Cheese is a decent source of protein and you can definitely get it low cal and low fat.

Stupid.

LOL I eat cheese pretty much everyday.

cheese is also loaded with sodium ,fat ,cholesterol and calories.It is also the number one source of bad fat.

Contrary to popular belief, dietary fat and cholesterol is not bad for you. We need both of those things to function. The only "bad fat" is trans fat.

Its Nonsense..My bet Vegans trying to get people to stop eating Dairy?

=/ I'm vegan, we're not all like that. I really don't care what everyone else eats.

I agree with the OP. It is quite silly and obviously created by someone very uninformed.

I'm vegan also, and not all of us are judgemental. I agree that this ad goes too far and is inflammatory.
